Disability tax credit transfer for 17 year old who is now working

[gg9999]

Hello,

My dependant is now working part time. This brought up two questions:

1. Do we need to complete a tax return for them?
2. How do we make sure they do not claim the disability tax credit so we can claim it instead?

All you have to do on your return is claim the disability credit. Then your parents would claim the transfer on their return. For guidance, please see our TurboTax FAQ How do I claim the Disability Tax Credit transferred from my dependant?

The parent or guardian approved on the DTC application form may claim the disability amount for their child. For more information please refer to this link: Who can claim for a dependent.

Thanks for choosing TurboTax.
